AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
324 PM EDT SAT MAR 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR BOSTON THIS AFTERNOON WILL DRIFT TO
THE SOUTH. ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM
EASTERN CANADA ON MONDAY TO THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC FOR THE
MIDDLE AND LATE PARTS OF THE NEW WEEK. THE HIGH MAY PUSH A COLD
FRONT INTO OUR REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST ON MONDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE IN THE
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
AN 18Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED HIGH PRESSURE FROM NEW ENGLAND
DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC. AN UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED
A RIDGE ACROSS THE EAST WITH A TROUGH ON THE WEST COAST. THERE
WERE AREAS OF MORE FOCUSED 850 MB WAA FROM THE PLAINS TO
SOUTHEASTERN CANADA.

THE MAIN FOCUS WILL BE THE MARINE INFLUENCE TAKING MORE OF A HOLD
ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA, WHICH HAS BEEN HUGGING THE COAST THIS
AFTERNOON. THE SYNOPTIC SETUP IS AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE THAT WILL BE
SLIDING ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT, WITH ITS AXIS ALONG OR JUST EAST
OF THE COAST BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. AT THE SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE
FROM NEW ENGLAND DOWN TOWARD THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC WILL SLIDE
SOUTHWARD AS THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE MOVES EAST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN
A WEAK FLOW REGIME ACROSS OUR AREA, WITH THE LOW- LEVELS BEING
ONSHORE. THE AREAS OF FOG AND LOW CLOUDS THAT IMPACTED MANY AREAS
EARLIER TODAY HAS DISSIPATED AND RETREATED TO ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST AND ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. ONCE THE BOUNDARY LAYER
HEATING WANES THIS EVENING, THE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION IS EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN ONCE AGAIN. THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE MOIST
LAYER IS RATHER SHALLOW, BUT THIS TRAPPED UNDERNEATH A PRONOUNCED
INVERSION WITH LIGHT FLOW TENDS TO LEAD TO FOG/LOW CLOUD ISSUES.

IT APPEARS THAT FOG SHOULD BE MORE DOMINANT ALTHOUGH SOME STRATUS
IS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST AS THE FOG SHOULD BE
THICK ENOUGH. WHILE OUR CONFIDENCE IS ON THE LOWER SIDE WITH HOW
THE TIMING WORKS OUT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE MARINE INFLUENCE TO
SPREAD LOW CLOUDS/FOG BACK INLAND THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS APPEARS
TO ALREADY BE STARTING AS THE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AT MID
AFTERNOON SHOWS THE STRATUS CREEPING INLAND ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE. THE FOG LOOKS TO BECOME LOCALLY
DENSE, HOWEVER OUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT REAL HIGH ON WIDESPREAD DENSE
FOG. FOR NOW, WE WENT WITH VISIBILITIES AS LOW AS 1/2SM AND WILL
MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR DENSE FOG IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK. BASED ON THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS, ANY DRIZZLE SHOULD BE
LIMITED AS THE DEPTH OF THE MOIST LAYER APPEARS TO BE SHALLOW
ENOUGH. THEREFORE, A DRIZZLE MENTIONED WAS NOT CARRIED ATTM.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, WE GENERALLY TOOK A MOS BLEND BUT THEN
BUMPED THESE UP A BIT BASED ON THE ANTICIPATION OF CLOUDS AND FOG
OVERSPREADING THE AREA. THOSE AREAS THAT REMAIN CLEAR LONGER MAY
END UP HAVING A QUICKER TEMPERATURE DROP INITIALLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
THE SYNOPTIC SETUP IS COMPRISED OF AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE ALONG THE
EAST COAST WHICH SLOWLY SLIDES EASTWARD A BIT THROUGH THE DAY.
THIS SHOULD FORCE THE SURFACE HIGH MORE TO OUR SOUTHEAST WITH
TIME, RESULTING IN THE LOW-LEVEL WINDS TURNING TO A SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION. THE DAY IS EXPECTED TO START OUT THOUGH WITH AREAS OF
FOG AND LOW CLOUDS AS ENOUGH MOISTURE POOLS UNDER A STRONG LOW-
LEVEL INVERSION. SINCE THE MOIST LAYER IS FORECAST TO BE FAIRLY
SHALLOW AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A LOT OF CLOUDS ABOVE, HEATING
WILL TEND TO DISSIPATE THE FOG THROUGH THE MORNING. ALSO, THE
WINDS TURNING SOUTHERLY WILL TEND TO REDUCE THE OVERALL MARINE
INFLUENCE. THEREFORE, WE ENDED A FOG MENTION BY MID MORNING AND
SHOWED A LOWERING TREND IN THE SKY GRIDS.

A POSSIBLE FLY IN THE OINTMENT COULD BE A DISTURBANCE IN THE
DEEPER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE. THERE
SHOULD BE SOME CONVECTION WITH THIS FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
DOWN INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. SOME DEBRIS CLOUDINESS FROM THIS COULD
CREST THE RIDGE AND MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA DURING THE COURSE OF THE
DAY. FOR NOW, WE DID NOT FACTOR IN MUCH IN THE WAY OF MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, WE STARTED WITH A MOS BLEND AS THESE SEEMS
FAIRLY CLOSE FOR MOST LOCALES BUT THEN MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BASED
ON SOME ANTICIPATED TRENDS AND WINDS. THE FLOW SHOULD BE LIGHT
ENOUGH WHERE THERE WILL STILL BE SOME OCEAN/BAY INFLUENCES ON THE
COASTAL LOCALES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO UP TO
THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES IS EXPECTED TO WORK ITS WAY EASTWARD,
PASSING OVER OUR REGION ON WEDNESDAY. UNTIL THE RIDGE AXIS
ARRIVES, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PERIODS WHEN THE
SYNOPTIC SURFACE FLOW HAS AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TO IT.

HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC SHOULD
MAINTAIN A SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW IN OUR REGION FROM SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY. AS A RESULT OF THE MOIST TRAJECTORY, WE WILL MENTION
AREAS OF FOG ON THE COASTAL PLAIN FOR LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING WHILE SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW CLOUDS
FARTHER INLAND.

A WEAK MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE FROM THE WEST MAY BRING SCATTERED TO
ISOLATED SHOWERS TO OUR REGION FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE
FEATURE SHOULD BE QUITE INNOCUOUS, PERHAPS BRINGING A FEW
HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN TO SOME LOCATIONS.

MEANWHILE, ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH IS FORECAST TO DROP FROM EASTERN
CANADA ON MONDAY TO THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC FOR THE BALANCE OF
THE WORK WEEK. THE AIR MASS MAY PUSH ANOTHER BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
INTO OUR REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE RESULTING ONSHORE FLOW MAY
BRING ANOTHER PERIOD OF LOW CLOUDS FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

AS THE RIDGE AXIS PASSES OVERHEAD AND TO OUR EAST FROM WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY, THE OVERALL FLOW SHOULD BEGIN TO FAVOR THE
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH. THEREFORE, THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG DRIFTING OFF THE OCEAN SHOULD BE REDUCED. BOTH DAYS ARE
ANTICIPATED TO FEATURE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. WE MAY SEE
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES APPROACH 80 DEGREES IN THE PHILADELPHIA
METROPOLITAN AREA, BERKS COUNTY, AND PERHAPS EVEN IN THE LEHIGH
VALLEY AND PARTS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY.

FOR THE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY TIME FRAME, THE MODEL GUIDANCE
BEGINS TO BRING A CLOSED LOW FROM THE WEST TOWARD OUR REGION.
WHETHER THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY COMES CLOSE ENOUGH IMPACT OUR WEATHER
FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY REMAINS IN QUESTION. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE
THAT THE GUIDANCE MAY BE OVERLY PROGRESSIVE WITH THE FEATURE'S
EASTWARD PROGRESS. FOR NOW, WE WILL SIMPLY INCLUDE A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD DURING THE PERIOD FROM SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY, EXCEPT DURING THOSE PERIODS FROM SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY WHEN THE MARINE FLOW DEVELOPS. A MORE LIMITED
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SEA BREEZE PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED FOR
WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

HIGH PRESSURE FROM NEW ENGLAND DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN MID
ATLANTIC WILL GRADUALLY SLIDE SOUTHWARD THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS WILL
KEEP A WIND FLOW THAT IS ONSHORE, HOWEVER A MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL DEVELOP DURING THE COURSE OF SUNDAY. THIS PERSISTENT ONSHORE
FLOW COMPONENT WILL MAINTAIN A SHALLOW LAYER OF INCREASED MOISTURE
IN THE LOWER LEVELS INTO SUNDAY. THIS WILL BECOME ENHANCED DURING
TONIGHT AS THE LOWER LEVELS COOL, ALLOWING AN INVERSION TO DEVELOP
AND STRENGTHEN. AS A RESULT, WE ARE EXPECTING AREAS OF FOG AND LOW
CLOUDS TO SPREAD INLAND THROUGH TONIGHT. THERE IS SOME LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN HOW MUCH OF THE MOISTURE DEVELOPS INTO STRATUS AS
OPPOSED TO FOG. AS OF NOW, GIVEN THE SHALLOWNESS OF THE MOIST
LAYER IT APPEARS THAT FOG WOULD TEND TO BE MORE DOMINANT /PERHAPS
MORE STRATUS CLOSER TO THE COAST/.

THEREFORE, WE WILL BRING THE VISIBILITIES DOWN THROUGH THE NIGHT
GENERALLY FROM EAST TO WEST. HOWEVER, THE TIMING CARRIES SOME
LOWER CONFIDENCE. WE DID ALSO CARRY SUB-VFR CEILINGS AT ALL OF OUR
TERMINALS BECAUSE THE FOG SHOULD BE THICK ENOUGH. THE CONDITIONS
AT ALL OF OUR TERMINALS SHOULD LOWER TO MVFR/IFR WITH PERHAPS
LOCAL CONDITIONS GETTING EVEN LOWER TOWARD MORNING. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR A TIME SUNDAY MORNING, HOWEVER HEATING
FROM ABOVE SHOULD ERODE THIS MOISTURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
SURFACE WINDS TURNING MORE FROM THE SOUTH. THEREFORE, WE SHOWED
IMPROVING CONDITIONS BY MID TO LATE MORNING ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME
LOWER CONFIDENCE WITH THIS TIMING AS WELL. THE WINDS WILL BE
EASTERLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON, AND EVEN BECOME
SOUTHEAST AT SOME TERMINALS BUT THE SPEED SHOULD GENERALLY BE 10
KNOTS OR LESS. MOST WILL THEN HAVE A LIGHT TO EVEN CALM WIND
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING, BEFORE THE WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 10
KNOTS BY EARLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN
THE WEAK ONSHORE FLOW, ESPECIALLY FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE WEAK ONSHORE FLOW, ESPECIALLY FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY....LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING
MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG WITH A LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING, OTHERWISE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW
ENGLAND AND NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS AFTERNOON, AND
EVENTUALLY BECOME RE-CENTERED MOSTLY TO OUR EAST/SOUTHEAST ON
SUNDAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN AN ONSHORE FLOW THROUGH TONIGHT,
ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD BE SHIFTING TO MORE SOUTHERLY SUNDAY. THE
FLOW REMAINS ON THE LIGHTER SIDE, THEREFORE CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER, SOME UPTICK
IN THE LOCAL WINDS MAY OCCUR DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON NEARSHORE AS
MORE OF A SEA/BAY BREEZE OCCURS. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A BANK
OF STRATUS/FOG ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE AT TIMES ESPECIALLY
NEARSHORE, BUT THEN THIN OUT AS WE GO THROUGH SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY WILL LIKELY GIVE WAY TO A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT ON MONDAY
NIGHT, THEN ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE NORTH FOR
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AS THE SECOND HIGH SETTLES OVER THE
WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC, A SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE. WIND SPEEDS AND WAVE
HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CRITERIA.
